Summer Vacation

One of our summer highlights was celebrating Jon's parents' Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary in the Salt Lake City, Utah temple where they were married.  It was a beautiful day, and we had a wonderful time with our family there.  Surrounding that event, we were able to spend a few days in Utah and Idaho.  Here are some pictures!

 Samuel exploring Great Grandma Atwood's yard.  Sally & Debbie were there, and as usual, they made a very fun day for the boys.  

 Tommy and Joey ventured a little farther...here they're exploring the field outside Grandma's house.

 They loved the farm life!

 Samuel's first roasted marshmallow

 Uh oh...it's sticky!

 He tried to wipe his hand clean in the grass....

 Samuel loved this cat and tried to follow it all over.

 Of course, Tommy tried to climb on the turkey cages

 My great-grandfather Atwood's farm purchased in 1936 and still in the family.  Part of my heritage!

 Uncle Stevan and the horse that Tommy and I rode.  It was so pretty!

Some of the fun things we did on our trip included staying with my grandma in Pingree, Idaho, then spending the rest of the trip at Julianne, Nathan, Evan, & Perry's house in Draper, a pool party with cousins, hanging out at Margie & Jason's new house where Tommy, Joey and Sam loved playing with Gabby & Sophia, picnicking at a Draper park with the whole family, eating at the Lion House after the temple sealing, enjoying a family program commemorating Tom & Bonnie's anniversary, and spending Tommy's birthday in Provo with Ellis & Paul, and watching our cute nieces Ashton and Sophia in their dance recital (and watching Joey and Sophia have a dance off in the aisle of the auditorium).  We had a great trip and miss everyone!
